Patches the Dog

For the past week we have had a house pet, Patches.  Kallen had the opportunity to take home his preschool's class pet (best kind of class pet too, a stuffed animal).  He was beyond thrilled to be the first kid in his class to watch Patches for the week.  He took such good care of him!  He slept with him every night, constantly played with him, took him everywhere, and knew where he was all the time.  I don't know if this shows that he is ready for a real pet; but I do know that he did a great job watching Patches, and that he will be so sad to give him back tomorrow.
